Fans of the cult Kiwi mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows got a special treat on Sunday at New York Comic Con: the entire first episode of the anticipated FX adaptation! Executive producers. There's no better way to escape the problems of the real world than watching a group of ridiculous vampires deal with theirs. Colin stole the show on What We Do In The Shadows Season 1 Episode 3.
One of the pleasant surprises of 2014 was Taika Waititi’s vampire mockumentary, What We Do in the Shadows. The comedy followed four vampires—Viago (Waititi), Vladislav ( Jemaine Clement), Deacon ( Jonathan Brugh), and Petyr ( Ben Fransham)—who share a flat in modern-day Wellington, New Zealand. It was a quirky, funny little comedy that found a cult following and helped Waititi land the director’s chair on Thor: Ragnarok.According to, New Zealand On Air (NZOA) has picked up a six-episode spin-off of What We Do in the Shadows entitled Paranormal Event Response Unit, which was conceived by Clement and Waititi. The show will features “police officers Karen and Mike, who ‘keep us safe from supernatural phenomena in their own police reality series’, NZOA said.”. The cops from Shadows are getting their own TV show. Think Mulder & Scully but in a country where nothing happens.— Taika Waititi (@TaikaWaititi)It’s worth noting that Paranormal Event Response Unit doesn’t preclude the possibility of a What We Do in the Shadows sequel., Clement said they’re “trying to write a werewolves spin-off” that would be entitled We’re Wolves.
The movie would focus on the werewolf Anton, played by Rhys Darby.What do you think about a What We Do in the Shadows spin-off? Do you think that’s the right story to tell with these characters? Sound off in the comment section.
If you've ever wondered what life would be like for a group of vampires living on Staten Island, FX's new comedy series What We Do in The Shadows has your answers.The series is based on the 2014 film of the same name by Jermaine Clement and Taika Waititi who both serve as Executive Producers on the show along with Paul Simms, Scott Rudin, Garrett Basch, and Eli Bush.It's an amusing, documentary-style look into their daily lives and what happens when their leader arrives in the New World to remind them of why they're there in the first place - total world domination. Guillermo changed his mind about punishing Nandor, but the Baron might not fare so well. We don't know yet if Guillermo was the one who let sunlight into the basement, but who else would have removed that plank?Nandor is by far my favorite member of the family. He's completely nuts, and the only relentless thing about him is his wackiness.He wants to be the vamp in charge, and he is in his head, but his housemates (except for Guillermo) have no respect for him.Nandor: I would like us to get a colorful dust that sparkles.Guillermo: Glitter?Nandor: Yes, get me some glitter.Guillermo: Whatever for, Master?Nandor: Well, I want to do something special for the immortal one's arrival. I am going to sprinkle it on my face and on my body.
Like Twilight. Permalink:.The way he walks around with his flowing warrior cape like he's the king of fashion is ridiculous, but the way his mind operates is what makes him so entertaining.The best and most hilarious moment of the premiere came when he and Guillermo were shopping for the Baron's big arrival.Not only did he develop an instant and deep love affair with 'creepy paper' (crepe paper), but his desire to purchase glitter so he could sprinkle it on his body and face 'like Twilight' showed just how preposterous he is. And the fool actually did turn himself into Sparkly Edward when he put it all over his face to try to impress the Baron. At least he realized how stupid he looked after the night turned into a disaster.Still, just writing about that moment cracks me up, and I can't wait to see how his goofiness develops over the course of the season.Do you remember that first time we made love? It was so passionate, I accidentally cut off your head. Nadja.
Permalink:.Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) and Lazlo (Matt Berry) are the show's resident couple who have been together for quite some time, Nadja having converted Lazlo many moons ago.Lazlo is a narcissist with a filthy mouth. Nadja is smart and sassy and always has sex on her mind.Like Nandor, they are surprised by that the Baron will be visiting but they're also titillated because they both had separate love affairs with the big boss which they are more than eager to share with the documentary crew.It defines them as much as their ridiculous outfits which they proudly wear in public not even realizing that their 'dressed down' look has the opposite effect of what they desire which is to not draw attention to themselves. Nadja is the more interesting of the two mostly because her life doesn't revolve around living in the house. She has a secret crush on a human named Jeff Suckler (yep) that she thinks is a reincarnation of her old flame from the old country, Gregor.Jeff is a loser but he's completely intrigued by this woman who seems to have formed some connection with him and likes to talk dirty.
She's the woman of any lonely pervert's dreams, and Jeff is a pretty lonely guy.We've been very careful not to stand out. Which is why we dress down. Lazlo. Permalink:.While we didn't spend a lot of time with him, we also meet Colin Robinson who is an energy vampire.
Out of all the players, he's the most boring and that's probably the point.
